- Description
- ParsT ends CT but does not bring transcendent closure to the work. In various ways--including several verb forms and other variations from Pennaforte's "Summa"--ParsPT reaffirm temporality rather than asserting eternality; they focus attention not on eschatology but on the "quotidian time of the Chaucerian audience."
